About me
We can all experience challenges throughout our lives and left feeling overwhelmed. Often it can feel very hard to share these thoughts and feelings with family or loved ones.
ADHD and ASD form a significant part of my work and l have undergone extensive specialist neuro-affirming training that informs my practice. I work with clients who have received recent or earlier diagnoses.
Additionally l also support individuals that might be curious about their own possible neurodivergence whether seeking assessments or to gain greater understanding of themselves.
l also work with couples and individuals parenting neurodivergent children and young adults. I feel strongly that this is not a one size fits all approach as each client brings a unique set of lived experiences and emotions.
Working alongside my clients as an integrative counsellor, I aim to give them the support to gain insights and awareness to overcome the difficulties they are facing. I work with adults (18+) and couples.
Face-to-face and online sessions are available.

Member organisations
BACP is one of the UK’s leading professional bodies for counselling and psychotherapy with around 60,000 members. The Association has several different categories of membership, including Student Member, Individual Member, Registered Member MBACP, Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Accred) and Senior Registered Accredited Member MBACP (Snr Acccred). Registered and accredited members are listed on the BACP Register, which shows that they have demonstrated BACP’s recommended standards for training, proficiency and ethical practice. The BACP Register was the first register of psychological therapists to be accredited by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA). Accredited and senior accredited membership are voluntary categories for members who choose to undertake a rigorous application and assessment process to demonstrate additional standards around practice, training and supervision. Individual members will have completed an appropriate counselling or psychotherapy course and started to practise, but they won’t appear on the BACP Register until they've demonstrated that they meet the standards for registration. Student members are still in the process of completing their training. All members are bound by the BACP Ethical Framework and a Professional Conduct Procedure.
Accredited register membership
The Accredited Register Scheme was set up in 2013 by the Department of Health (DoH) as a way to recognise organisations that hold voluntary registers which meet certain standards. These standards are set by the Professional Standards Authority (PSA).
